Our neighborhood, El Faro, is in the perfect location of Puerto Escondido. Equal distance from your practically empty walking beach at Playa Bacoccho and world class Surf beach Playa Zicatella with all the shopping and restaurants in The Rinconada less than 1 km away. 10 minutes to walk to Playa Manzanillo where you can step out into the water and snorkle. 10 minutes to walk to The Adoquin with its shopping and night market.

We are in the heart of Puerto Escondido! 5 minutes by taxi from the airport or bus station. If you enjoy the heat it is easy to walk anywhere you want to go. But getting a taxi is 1 block away and you almost never have to wait more than a few minutes for the next taxi to come (or you can call our favorite taxi driver). A taxi almost anywhere in Puerto should only cost you 50 pesos. Other things to note As of October 25, 2023 Phase 2 construction continues behind our building but has become "interior work" only. Noise disturbances are very rare but not entirely unavoildable.
